The 5 Financial Talks to Have with Bae Before Marriage

All the million-dollar questions that need to be asked in order to properly secure the future with the love of your life.

The idea that no one loves a gold-digger is one of the things that shape our orientation about relationships and marriages.

And because nobody ever wants to be seen as a money-chaser or a liability, people sometimes avoid the subject of money altogether in relationships.

But that’s wrong.

Discussing money, and expressing an unhidden curiosity about your partner’s finances is not the same as being a gold digger or parasite or opportunist.

As a matter of fact, if you truly love someone you will be concerned about every facet of their life, every single detail about them, and they will be open to you about everything because relationships are about honesty, too.

While a great deal of tact and diplomacy is needed while trying to get these information, it needs to be done nonetheless, especially when the relationship is getting serious and both partners begin to commit to each other than before.

When that time comes, there are five unavoidable topics you must discuss and they are listed below.

1. Are we financially compatible?

The answer to this can be gotten by asking, and by observing also.

When in a relationship that seems to be heading somewhere great, partners need to sit down and have a conversation about their finances, the differences and how to reconcile them.

For instance, where a partner chooses to save a certain percentage of his income and the other thinks it’s too low because she places more premium on saving, then they’d have to reach a compromise on that.
